SOMETHING TO SAY Lyrics

I started off on the good foot
But good look seem as good as they could look
I should put my best foot first
If for the rest of the verse, uh
Holy stress, I arrest on the verge
But fuck that! Let me rest my case
Cause I ain?t got another decade just to waste!
When I rest in my resting place, I want no regrets
Except that we were the best in state until third
So now every hooking verse I drop
Hooky still hurts and it serves my?
I?ve been cursed with the perfect urge
To perfect the curse at first and learn the work.
But I ain?t learned to earn my paychecks,
So maybe that?s why I ain?t the pay jet
But I stay fresh till the end of the day
This is all can say till I drift away!

Pre-chorus:
And what you?re hearing
May not be what you really want to hear!
And what you?re hearing
May not be what you really want to hear!

Chorus:
If you?ve got something to say
Then keep it come on my way
Cause all the love and the hate is all one and the same!
See, I ain?t running the game, I?m just running my pace
So you could try to keep up
Why you?re running the place? (x3)

I started off on the best foot with the wrong look
Cause this song took longer than my check book.
Cause my checks don?t pay the lights yet
So Mike had to guess if he made the right steps!
Cause yes, I write like the best, best believe
But every second of record without a second of relief
I? excel, but no press release
So relieve all the stress that I press on me!
Huh, this undress, ? my receipt
It?s like cardiac? rest in peace!
The rest of my team is the rest of the league
? below key, no, we hold he!
No, I sell dope on beats, but don?t creep
A penny for my thoughts, over twenty for my boss
I?m living with the cause, cause it?s all you can pay
So at the end of the day, this is all I can say!

Pre-chorus:
And what you?re hearing
May not be what you really want to hear!
And what you?re hearing
May not be what you really want to hear!

Chorus:
If you?ve got something to say
Then keep it come on my way
Cause all the love and the hate is all one and the same!
See, I ain?t running the game, I?m just running my pace
So you could try to keep up
Why you?re running the place? (x3)

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn'tIt was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fightingIn World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26In Vietnam he was 19In-in-in Vietnam he was 19

The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today25 miles west of SaigonI really wasn't sure what was going on

Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combatIn Vietnam were arrested since dischargeTheir arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans of the same ageThere are no accurate figures of how many of these menHave been incarcerated

But a Veterans Administration studyConcludes that the greater of vetsExposure to combat could more likely affect his chancesOf being arrested or convicted

This is one legacy of the Vietnam War

All those who remember the warThey won't forget what they've seenDestruction of men in their primeWhose average was 19

De-de-destructionDe-de-destructionWar, war

De-de-destruction, wa, wa, war, wa, war, warDe-de-destructionWar, war

After World War II the men came home together on troop shipsBut the Vietnam vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combatPerhaps the most dramatic difference betweenWorld War II and Vietnam was coming homeNone of them received a hero's welcome

None of them received a heroes welcome, none of them, none of themNe-ne-ne, ne-ne-ne, none of them, none of them, none of themNone of them received a hero's welcomeNone of them received a hero's welcome

According to a Veteran's Administration studyHalf of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from whatPsychiatrists callPost-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder

Many vets complain of alienation, rage or guiltSome succumb to suicidal thoughtsEight to ten years after coming homeAlmost eight hundred thousand men are still fighting the Vietnam War

I've done everything I canAll the people that I see I will never understandIf I find a way to change, if I step into the lightThen I'll never be the same, and it all will fade to whiteEver on and on I continue circlingWith nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony

I've done everything I canAll the people that I see I will never understandIf I find a way to change, if I step into the lightThen I'll never be the same, and it all will fade to whiteEver on and on I continue circlingWith nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony
